Thierry Lancino (27/03/1954), a French composer, born in Civray, France.
Thierry Lancino’s lyrical, colorful and bold musical writing lends itself particularly well to the human voice, which features prominently in many of his compositions. He has been awarded the prestigious commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress (2007) for which he writes a Requiem for a world premiere with Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir at Salle Pleyel, in Paris (January 2010). French writer Pascal Quignard (Goncourt Prize 2002) wrote for it an original text and tells us:“The extraordinary idea that dominates this Requiem and makes it stand out so profoundly from the others, consists precisely in letting side by side – without making a choice – desire for annihilation and desire of eternity”.
